Product Review: Dove “Purely Pampering” Shea Butter Body Wash

I bought this on a whim because my usual Dove product was out of stock.  I have to say it made my skin feel incredibly silly soft.  You know, “like buttah.”  I have no clue if this is a seasonal item or a short term trial product, but I am glad it crossed my path.  After using it, I didn’t feel the need to apply much lotion either.  I have been only using it a few days but out of 7 days, I will break up the routine with a body scrub body wash.  I wouldn’t want all the shea butter to clog any pores, which does happen.  Body acne and blackheads are no joke!

How often do you change from your usual routine?  Which products do you like to throw in from time to time?

Review: Eucerin “Professional Repair”

I received the sample in the mail of Eucerin’s Professional Repair lotion.  It’s marked for extremely dry skin, so I used my tiny sample on my elbows and what was left on my heels.  I did not find that it lived up to its name.  My skin on both areas was not any more repaired than when I use my Target store brand lotion that is geared toward dry skin.

The Eucerin product retails around $7 in both powerhouses of Target and Walmart for 6.8 fl oz.  That is just crazy really.  It’s not gold, it’s lotion.  My 32 fl oz bottle of lotion retails around $6, and I get it from Target.   I won’t be making a switch any time soon.  I found something that works great for my winter dry skin.

What are you using that works for your skin?
